Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.

Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.

Either you run the day or the day runs you.

Always desire to learn something useful.

By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.

Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.

Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.

To know oneself, one should assert oneself.

Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
